Divine King of Honour

The Seventh Prince looked at his heavily injured old servant behind him, his face filled with astonishment.

He had actually failed!

He had used an Immortal Sword, and still, he had failed?

How was this possible?

For a time, everyone fell into a profound silence.

Even the most promising Seventh Prince had failed.

How could this enormous bell be so powerful?

And how could it be that even an Immortal Sword couldn't ring this bell?

Could it be that among them, not a single person was capable of ringing this bell?

Then wouldn't the dragon vein be unattainable for anyone?

If so, wouldn't they be trapped here forever?

The atmosphere surrounding them was exceptionally heavy.

At this moment, Xu Nian was also deep in thought.

"Your Majesty, why couldn't the Seventh Prince ring this fake Donghuang Bell, even with the use of an Immortal Sword? Aren't they both Immortal Artifacts?" Xu Nian could not comprehend, so he consulted Emperor Ye Tian for guidance.

"What a bunch of fools. Do you think this cracked bell can be rung by brute force? Even if that boy wields an Immortal Sword, how does it benefit him if he cannot harness even one ten-thousandth of the sword's might with his strength? Naturally, he cannot ring the bell," Emperor Ye Tian stated.

Hearing this, Xu Nian suddenly experienced an epiphany.

Although the Immortal Sword was mighty, the one wielding it was still far too weak.

And it was quite apparent that the enormous bell had been blessed with the power of Emperor Bai.

No matter how powerful the Seventh Prince was, he could definitely not surpass Emperor Bai.

"Does this mean that nobody can ring the bell?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

To ring the bell, one must possess strength that exceeds Emperor Bai's.

Yet, the highest among them present was merely at Half-Saint Level, and surpassing Emperor Bai's strength was unequivocally impossible.

"Boy, I thought they were the only fools, but I didn't expect you to be just as foolish as they are," Emperor Ye Tian scolded.

Xu Nian suddenly felt embarrassed and hastily said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Hmph, boy, haven't you noticed that the force rebounded from these people was all made of Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi?" Emperor Ye Tian asked with a light snort.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was momentarily taken aback.

That's right!

All the mighty ones had unleashed their strongest attacks, as if desperate to release all the Spiritual Energy or Gang Qi within them.

As a result, the forces generated by their Spiritual Energy and Gang Qi would naturally be absorbed by the bell.

"Do you mean to suggest that I should refrain from using any power and rely solely on Physical Strength to attack?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Hmph, not too stupid after all. Correct, the Donghuang Bell is a Supreme Divine Artifact that can absorb all forms of energy to counterattack the opponent. Although this bell is a mere replica, it still has the Donghuang Bell's diminished abilities. However, pure Physical Strength cannot be absorbed since it is not a substantial form of energy. Therefore, all you need to do is utilize your purest Physical Strength. In front of you, this immense bell is no different from a normal bell, and as long as your Physical Strength is sufficient, it is enough to shake the bell," Emperor Ye Tian disdainfully said.

Hearing these words, Xu Nian's eyes instantly lit up.

His heart was filled with emotion.

All Cultivators were accustomed to relying on the Spiritual Energy or Gang Qi within their bodies to fight.

However, they had neglected the essence of their bodies, the pure Physical Strength.

So they could never consider focusing on Physical Strength.

They probably couldn't even dream that...

The challenge presented was not a test of strength but one of intelligence.

Upon realizing this, Xu Nian no longer hesitated.

Looking toward the hovering giant bell, he began to slowly walk towards it.

"What is he trying to do? He's not thinking of ringing the bell, is he?"

Xu Nian's actions immediately drew the attention of the crowd, and all eyes turned to him.

When they saw Xu Nian actually walking towards the giant bell, surprise was etched on everyone's faces.

"Hmph, is this guy seeking death? Even the Seventh Prince, who used an Immortal Artifact, failed. Does he really think he can shake this giant bell?" Xu Tong snorted coldly.

The crowd around him heard this and also showed mocking expressions on their faces.

They had witnessed the strength of Xu Nian before.

It was merely equivalent to the strength of a Three-star Battle King.

With such combat power, how could he possibly shake the giant bell before their eyes?

Xu Xin's brow also furrowed.

She hadn't expected 'Lin Long' to make a move in such a situation.

This caused her to start worrying.

After all, most of those who had attempted before were almost severely injured.

If 'Lin Long' made a move, he most likely wouldn't escape unscathed either.

However, Xu Xin was powerless to intervene.

Since 'Lin Long' had already decided to act, it wasn't something she could stop.

She could tell that 'Lin Long' was the kind of person who, once a decision was made, wouldn't easily change his mind.

Now, all she could do was pray that 'Lin Long' wouldn't be injured by the giant bell.

"Pfft, overestimating oneself!"

Xia Zhenglei watched Xu Nian step forward with a disdainful sneer.

Even he was defeated, so who else could succeed?

In his view, Xu Nian making a move at this time was simply courting death.

"He's finally decided to make a move, huh? I just don't know if he can succeed?" Leng Cangfeng looked at Xu Nian stepping out and chuckled to himself.

"Big brother, why do you think so highly of this guy? Even if he is the Artifact Refining Sect Master, his strength is still only at the Three or Four Star Battle King Level. You've already offended the Seventh Prince for the sake of befriending him, and now you actually think he can ring this giant bell?" Another young man from the Leng Family spoke, not understanding.

In his view, this youth was nothing more than slightly more talented and luckier.

There was really nothing noteworthy about him.

Geniuses like this fell aside in great numbers along the way.

Who knows, maybe one day this youth would meet a tragic end under someone else's sword.

He truly couldn't understand why his always intelligent big brother valued this young man so much.

Upon hearing his brother's words, Leng Cangfeng could only helplessly shake his head and said, "Just watch and you'll see. I have a premonition he can ring this bell."

However, the young man from the Leng Family merely curled his lips, doubting in his heart.

Xu Nian, however, paid no mind to the jeers of the crowd and walked straight to the front of the giant bell.

"What is he trying to do, standing so close? Isn't he afraid the rebound from his own attack will kill him?"

Xu Nian's action once again drew a round of ridicule.

Xu Xin's finely arched eyebrows also instantly knitted together, the concern in her eyes intensifying.

Xu Nian smiled slightly and hesitated no longer.

His palm clenched into a fist, he swung his fist straight at the giant bell, smashing down fiercely.

"Hahaha, he actually didn't use any power to attack the giant bell; he must be joking! If he can ring this bell, I'll eat the bell myself," Xu Tong saw Xu Nian's move and burst into loud laughter.

Those who had held a glimmer of hope for Xu Nian now showed self-mocking expressions.

Not using any power to attack clearly indicated fear that the power used would be too strong and that the recoil would be even stronger, injuring oneself.

Such an act was plainly seeking attention!

"Dang!"

Yet, when everyone thought Xu Nian surely couldn't move the giant bell, the bell let out a small quivering sound.

Although the sound was faint, when it fell into everyone's ears, it was like thunder striking.

"What?"

Everyone was instantly petrified, staring blankly at Xu Nian.
